The most heartbreaking single article you've ever read?

Hands down the winner was this article. I mean it wasn’t even close.

I don’t recommend reading it, but if you do, be prepared. I am not fucking kidding. It won a pulitzer and I can see why, because it will cut a god damn hole all the way through you.

Some runners-up that are a bit easier to process, but still utterly heartbreaking in their own ways:

The Pulitzer Prizes (1st runner up, another pulitzer)

Somebody is to Blame for This (my previous winner, just watch the video)

How A Woman's Plan To Kill Herself Helped Her Family Grieve : Shots - Health News : NPR

Good luck. You’re gonna need it.

Why would I do this? I don’t know, we recently had to euthanize one of our cats due to cancer, and I wanted to understand that whatever pain and grief I had, it was a fraction of what’s really out there. We all have it so, so damn good and we just don’t realize.

Now you do, right?
